The'schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesama.

Be n known that I, o. o. Kimi, of Philadelphia, in-the county ofPhiladelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Oil-Oups for Self-Oiling- Adjustable Hangers andI do hereby declare -that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had tothe annexed drawings,making part of this specification,l in` Whicb- Figure l is a transversesection of a box and hanger, with the improved cup;

Figure 2, a plan'of the cup;

Figure 3, a perspective -view; Figure 4, a view of the cup before theimprovement; and

Figure 5,a view of the cap for the improved cup.,

In that style ofself-oiling adjustable shafting-han gers which swivel ontwo cylindrical plugs, AA', a separate oil-cup -was originally placed oneach side of the boss B; but itwas found that the oil would runfrequently from one to the other7 causing an overflow on one side, andhea-ting ofthe journal on the other.

level, the cups were united by a closed channel, O, fig, 4,

the whole being cast in one piece. This channel being `closed everywherebut on its ends, it was necessary to To avoid.. this, andto canse theoil to be always on the same was given up, on account of the expense,and the difficulty of making a permanent oil-tight joint.

In my invention, thesetroubles are effectually over- I come, by makingthe channel all open on the top. In fact, it is merely a continuation ofone cup, running around the boss B, and joining the other cup, as sho'wnin gs. 2 and 3. 4

The section of the channel shown in the drawings is 4 a rectangle, g. l,and the plan, an arc of a circle, g. 2;

but I do not limit myself to these shapes, as they have nothing to dowith the merits ofthe invention.

In order to prevent dust and dirt from entering, and to facilitate thepouring in of oil, a cap,-g. 5,V is provided, which slides a littleunderneath the box, as at D, Iig. 1, and the lng E then drops insidejofthe channel C, thus keeping the cap in its proper place.

The sides of the channel are so much below the top of the cup as toallow the cap to form a level with the cups when it is in place.

I do not claim the idea of connecting the cups as shown in fig. 4, or bymeans of a pipe; but, `in order to' facilitate the moulding and castingof oil-cups, as aforesaid,

' I claim the channel 0 and the cap, fig. 5,l combined 'andrarrangedwith the oil-cups, as herein described.
